Prayer of Confession, P11C

Call to Confession

All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Let us confess our sin before God and seek God's mercy.

Prayer of Confession, P11C

The job is too big, Lord.
We are too small,
too young,
too old,
too shy,
too afraid.
We do not have the words,
the courage,
the wisdom,
the knowledge,
the experience,
the authority.
Listen, God!
NO! Don’t call US!
we say,
as we list all the excuses
for why we can’t go in your name.
Forgive us, we pray,
and put your words in our mouths,
put your love in our hearts,
and strengthen our resolve
to do your will.

Assurance of God's Grace

Our God has promised that when we confess our sin, God, who is faithful and just, will forgive us our sin, removing it as far as the east is from the west and remembering it no more. In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. Thanks be to God!

Since God has forgiven us in Christ, let us also forgive one another. The peace of Christ be with you.
Please extend the peace of Christ to all whom you encounter this day~
